Gorgeous Looks from the Evening Standard Awards
The Evening Standard awards are, in general, a far more low-key affair in British film than the Baftas, which are due to take place this sunday, but they still throw up some good looks, and, in Andrea Riseborough’s Jenny Packham, a dress that could rival anything that Hollywood has to offer. Also attending the ceremony was Helen McCrory, that wonderful actress so often in the shade of hubby Damian Lewis. I loved her maxi skirt and black silk blouse. This was just such a grown up look, a touch 1930s, and so striking, teamed with a very glam Kate Spade clutch bag. Hayley Atwell went for a brightly printed burnt…

W.E. – It’s almost time for Wallis to Rule
The reviews aren’t exactly glowing, but I’m still very excited about Madonna’s new movie about the great love affair between Edward and Mrs Simpson.

Lea Michele wore an amazing sparkling Valentino number for the premiere of her film ‘New Year’s Eve’. This style will definitely catch the eye and make you the centre of attention, but take a tip from Lea and let the dress…

Wallis Simpson – now a 21st century style icon.
One of the most celebrated style icons of the 20th century looks set to emerge as a key influence for 2011. Wallis Simpson, the women for whom Edward VIII gave up the British throne, is the topic of the new film WE, which is currently being directed by Madonna. This will follow on from a Christmas radio play, and an appearance in a classy Channel 4 drama. Wallis Simpson, Nee Warfield, was a true style icon. She was not classically beautiful, but she knew how to dress with elegance, style and impeccable good taste. Her wit and personality, along with her effortless style, made up for a lack of typical…
